Many projects are extremely short-sighted, thinking only about how to get listed on the exchange as soon as possible, and what is left behind is often a mess. What is even more worrying is that some first-tier funds not only have no reflection on this, but also hype up their "listed projects" and short-term market value performance, but never mention the value creation of the projects themselves, let alone whether these projects survive healthily after listing. This is not a game I am willing to participate in, and it is not the original intention of my founding ABCDE. For me, such work is a waste of time rather than creating value. I don’t lack and don’t want to make this money.

The original team will continue to be responsible for the post-investment support and exit arrangements of existing projects to ensure that the commitments to entrepreneurs and LPs can be fulfilled conscientiously. The focus of my work will also gradually shift from financial investment in the primary market to a direction dominated by strategic investment and combined with deep incubation, focusing more on industry collaboration and long-term value creation.
